Humantenna: Sensing Gestures Using the Body as an Antenna
We use the human body as an antenna for sensing whole-body gestures. Such an approach requires no instrumentation to the environment, and only minimal instrumentation to the user, thus enabling truly mobile applications.
Project
Skinput: Appropriating the Body as an Input Surface
We present Skinput, a technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as an input surface.
Project
Better Together for Mobile Devices
A set of applications and libraries allowing multiple mobile devices to work as one device when running apps. Completed in 3 months, demonstrated internally at TechFest 2013. SDK is available internally only. Apps are built…
